There's nothing quite like winter in New York City (and we're not referring to the freezing temperatures and occasional blizzards). This season, NYC invites you into a warm world of thrilling performances, groundbreaking exhibitions and interactive activities. Among the offerings to be enjoyed: the New York City Ballet's version of Swan Lake; the Brooklyn Museum's look at Keith Haring's early life; the Met's new Islamic-art wing; and lavish jewelry from Pablo Picasso and Jeff Koons at the Museum of Arts and Design. Meanwhile, escape to a Caribbean paradise at the New York Botanical Garden, catch a show at the St. George Theatre or learn more about the iconic Panorama with the latest exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art. Oh, and don't forget to bring the whole family to the children's museum at the newly reopened New-York Historical Society. Read on for details on all these attractions.
